Ellen Jane Frost was born August 6, 1877 in Marylebone, Middlesex, England. She was the youngest daughter and middle child of Charles and Sarah Frost. Charles Frost was a painter, born about 1842 in Marylebone. Sarah was listed in the 1881 British Census as head of household as a hostler and was born about 1847, also in Marylebone. They had two older children Joseph Christopher, Ada Frances and two younger children, Edward and George. Sarah Frost died in Marylebone in 1883, at some point, younger siblings Edward and George also died, after 1881.

Charles, Joseph, Ada and Ellen Frost all spent the winter of 1883/84 in the workhouse in Marylebone, as Charles could not work as a painter because of rheumatism in his wrists. At some point Ada and Ellen were placed in Annie Macphersons home for children. Ada came to Canada in 1884 with Charlotte Alexander and went from Marchmont Home in Belleville, Ontario, to Mr. and Mrs. Stouffer, of Stouffville, Ontario. From there, because of Mrs. Stouffers poor health, Ada then went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Wm Coyne of St. Thomas, Ontario. Ada died of diptheria on March 31, 1888. She was buried in the Coyne family plot with no grave marker.

Ellen came to Canada with Ellen Bilborough of Marchmont Home on the S.S. Circassian from Liverpool on June 18, 1885. They landed in Quebec and went to Marchmont Home in Belleville from there. Ellen had a few different placements, not because she was a difficult child, but due to circumstances in the homes where she was placed. Nellie first lived with a Mr. Manhard, who wrote he was pleased with her, but then wrote and said he had to return her. She then lived with an Elisha Wiltse of Lyndhurst, Ontario and from there, eventually went to live with Thomas and Mary Wallace of Sand Bay ( Lansdowne ), Ontario, where she remained until her marriage to Thomas Hayden.

Letter from Nellie Frost to Charlotte Alexander.

"Sand Bay Oct 23, 1886

On December 28, 1898, Thomas Joseph Hayden and Ellen Jane Frost were married at the home of his friend Richard Williams, in Lansdowne, Ontario. Reverend John Fairlie performed the ceremony.

Tom and Nellie had seven children between 1900 and 1920; Francis, Margaret, Mary, Edward, Joseph, William and Catherine. Catherine was my grandmother.

Tom and Nellie moved from farm to farm working as hands for board. In the late 1920's, Tom and Nellie bought their first and only real home, and with the property, a small business, a gas station. Nellie ran the store while Tom continued to work on farms. Tom Hayden enjoyed playing the fiddle and played at many barn dances, Nellie enjoyed her family, raising cats and gardening.

Tom died on November 24, 1956, ironically at Hotel Dieu Hospital, where his life in Canada started.

Nellie died May 9, 1960, in Brockville, Ontario.
